Thank you. So, if we can connect quickly with some people, is it because of some previous life connection or it is sometimes just can’t gel with some people? Is it because of some past life discord? See, this whole business of past life, it has a level of, it has a purpose.
If you start going into the whole mode of speculation, maybe it was like this, maybe it was like that, it’s all guesswork and it’s very, very difficult to know what is working. So, the primary purpose of what we can infer from the past life memories is that we are eternal, we are not the body. Sometimes we are thinking, you know, if I could remember my past life, then I would get a conviction that I am not the body and the soul.
But there are people who remember their past lives, you know, they sometimes still want to settle a score from their past life. They don’t want to, there was one of the designers of Titanic, his name was Thomas Andrews and he was blamed for the sinking of the Titanic, well, actually he was a financer who caused that at that time. So, he was reborn as William Barnes and he gave a systematic explanation of what caused the Titanic to sink, the best explanation available till now.
He described events also what happened at that time. Now, so it’s more or less from the objective evidence point of view, it’s reasonable to infer that William Barnes is Thomas Andrews reincarnated. But Barnes has no spiritual interest.
He says, the purpose of my life is to clear the good name of Andrews, which is slurred by so and so person. So, it is not necessary that knowledge of the past can necessarily, knowledge of a past life can necessarily lead to any spiritual growth. It may, it may not.
So, when it is not clear, we don’t have to worry about it. So, if two people are able to connect nicely, it may be because of a past life connection or it may just be because we are like-minded. Two like-minded people meet here on life’s journey, that’s wonderful.
And so, we don’t have to get into speculation about past life. It’s important thing is if you can connect with someone, very important. If you can’t connect with someone, then we may keep a distance or we may need more effort to connect with that person.
It’s best to focus on the present. The past life can become, the whole idea of reincarnation can become just a zone for endless speculation if we, if we let it diverge us from the present. So, if you’re connecting nicely, well and good.
It’s correct best to connect with that person. But sometimes what happens is, say, two people meet together and they think, you know, maybe they’re destined to meet. And they think maybe they have past life connection and then they form a relationship.
Well, even if there’s a past life connection or that sort of feeling is there, we have to ourselves use our intelligence to evaluate, to check the compatibility, to work out on things. Just by thinking something is destiny and not doing our responsibility. Basically, we may get ourselves into a trouble.
So, it’s best to use our intelligence. Something, some relationship working, wonderful, move forward. If you have a past life, it may be, it’s great.
If it is not, it doesn’t matter because in this life we are able to connect. So, let’s, let’s stay focused on what is in our control. That is the present.
Nancy, question. Thank you. I have a very large question.
